Treating everything as personal conflict is a dead end
Let’s focus on being honest, the most exhausting and destructive habit in activist and alternative tech spaces is the blinded reflex to turn disagreement into personal conflict. Someone challenges an idea, and it becomes an attack, names a pattern of behaviour, and suddenly it’s a vendetta. Someone points at structural problems and gets accused of targeting individuals. This is #stupidindividualism in its purest form, and it’s #nothingnew. It’s not only about difficult personalities […] -

#OMN Grounding (the roots as a story)
#techchurn is the endless cycle of adopting new platforms, tools, and technologies - not because they solve any real problems, but because novelty is mistaken for progress. It burns community trust, institutional memory, and activist energy, while leaving the underlying #nastyfew power structures untouched.https://hamishcampbell.com/?s=techchurn The #OMN uses #stupidindividualism to describe the culturally manufactured habit of prioritising personal gain and self-interest over collective […]https://hamishcampbell.com/omn-grounding-the-roots-as-a-story/

In the #OMN hashtag story, #nothingnew is a grounding reminder that the cycles of co-optation, institutional failure, grassroots betrayal, and technological hype we're living through now have all happened before — and that ignoring this history is how movements keep making the same mistakes.

#nothingnew is a way out of this trap – it’s deliberately challenging. Brains are for thinking, not food. History isn’t baggage; it’s a toolkit. Post-modernism is a dead philosophy that still rules the #mainstreaming https://hamishcampbell.com/post-modernism-is-a-dead-philosophy-that-still-rules-the-mainstreaming/

The #dotcons, #mainstreaming, and Build to Walk Away
Three years ago I was trying to explain something simple in language liberals might actually hear. They talk about “platform capitalism.” Fine. But I’ve been calling it the #dotcons for 20 years - because that’s what it is - a con. The last 30 years of tech hasn’t just drifted into this mess. It’s been shaped, step by step, enclosure by enclosure, into systems designed to extract value from us. What we now call the internet is, in large part, a machine built to manipulate, […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-dotcons-mainstreaming-and-build-and-walk-away/

Gates vs Bridges: the obscure politics of the #geekproblem
In the #geekproblem mindset, crossing a protocol flow is a gateway were in #openweb terms, it’s a bridge. That difference is not technical - it’s social - the difference between CONTROL and TRUST. A gate is something you lock, permission, authentication, enforcement were a bridge is something you cross, connection, flow, relationship. In the physical world, we don’t put gates on bridges as a default, but in software, we keep rebuilding them, and then wondering why things fragment.

Let’s try and simplify the #OMN
The #OMN Framework: The Five Functions (#5F) The #OMN is simple flows, not platforms, it’s a way of thinking about media as flows of objects moving through a network. People shape the flow, you can find a more technical view to read after here. A human-scale, federated media infrastructure built on #FOSS practices and the #4opens: open data open source open process open standards It doesn’t start with features, apps, or ideology, it starts with flows. Imagine the network as: pipes […] -
A bit of #OMN history and where the current paths come from
For a long time the focus has been on solving two linked problems - both of which are actually #nothingnew. The first is grassroots publishing and organising. The second is network coordination between communities. Neither of these problems started with the internet, and they certainly didn’t start with Silicon Valley. Projects like #Indymedia and community organising networks solved these problems culturally long before modern platforms existed. They worked through shared practice, trust […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-bit-of-omn-history-and-where-the-current-paths-come-from/

A Minimal, Governable Infrastructure for Trust-Based Media Flows
Human Tech: The Open Media Network (#OMN) is a proposal for human-scale, federated media infrastructure built on standard #FOSS practices and the #4opens: open data, open source, open process, open standards. It does not attempt to invent a new platform. It defines a minimal, interoperable framework for how content flows through networks, in ways that remain understandable, auditable, and governable by the communities that use them. The core premise is simple, if people cannot mentally […]https://hamishcampbell.com/a-minimal-governable-infrastructure-for-trust-based-media-flows/

Most people sense that something is off
Meany people see the world degrading, enclosure accelerating. They see climate, politics, media all bending toward extraction. And even when they can see the trajectory, they feel powerless, so they cope by optimise their careers. They scroll. They argue. They consume. They retreat into irony. From birth, we’re trained into one core assumption: There Is No Alternative (#TINA). Not because it’s true, but because every dominant institution reinforces it: Schools train compliance. Media […]https://hamishcampbell.com/most-people-sense-that-something-is-off/

I proposed a long time ago that #openweb is a less tribal, more expansive framing than #fediverse — socially and technically. It’s also #nothingnew, which is honestly a breath of fresh air. We can (and should) use both terms, but if we want meaningful change and challenge to the #mainstreaming mess, we need to foreground the more generic one.
Predictably, this gets pushback from two directions: the non-political #FOSS crowd, and the mainstreaming crew. And yes, when you bring #NGO behaviour into the #fediverse, there’s going to be friction. Try being #openweb-native on this please.
People are going to keep doing self- and socially-destructive things. That’s a human problem, not a branding one. But the language we choose does shape how we respond to it.
Boost if you think this shift matters.

The uncomfortable path
The individual, their freedom, and their capacity for reason are products of social relationships, not independent origins. Society is not built from isolated individuals; individuals arise from shared culture, history, and collective life. As society grows richer and more humane, individuals gain the conditions needed for deeper development and freedom emerges from this shared foundation. What’s really at stake is power. The shift has to be away from private ownership and toward the […] -
Our hashtags try to name it: #stupidindividualism #deathcult #dotcons #nothingnew in that we repeat the same patterns, inside the same systems, and wonder why nothing changes. What does mainstreaming do? https://hamishcampbell.com/what-does-mainstreaming-do/

Human tech https://hamishcampbell.com/human-tech-omn/ #OMN is rooted in #nothingnew because systems that survive are systems people already intuitively understand.

An example of the mess from #deathcult centrism
Don’t worry too much, the corporate world has solutions, we look here at #ESG which stands for Environmental, Social, and Governance. Its advocates say that if companies disclose enough data about their environmental and social behaviour, “good” corporate conduct will be rewarded by investors with higher share prices. Let's really look at #ESG, for what they are, #greenwash, a system of delay, distraction, and capture - on this #deatcult path this it is not a mistake, it is a function.

Progressive Mainstreaming
Most progressive #mainstreaming isn’t about ending the #deathcult - it’s about making its worship feel more fair, more inclusive, more polite. There is some real everyday value in this. Fewer people get crushed immediately, some suffering is reduced, that matters. But let’s be honest about what it does not do, it does not get people off their knees to challenge the altar to stop the sacrifice. It rearranges the seating in the temple, feeding the deeper problem, obedience. Progressive […] -

Digital Detox Is Urgently Needed
Fighting #fashionistas with fashion. We have an app outline for that: iPhone or android. Not as a lifestyle tweak, not as wellness branding, not as another individual “better habits” story. These proposed apps and the wider projects have nothing to do with self-optimisation, productivity hacks, or personal purity. Framing it that way is already defeat - that’s #stupidindividualism doing the work of the #dotcons for them. What we’re facing in our digital mess isn’t only a failure […]https://hamishcampbell.com/digital-detox-is-urgently-needed/

Why the #OMN works with #ActivityPub – And why we need a bridge to #p2p
Let's look at this. #ActivityPub is not a product. It’s not even really a “protocol” in the narrow, rigid sense that vertical tech likes to imagine. ActivityPub is a shared vocabulary, a public language for moving meaning and connection across the #openweb. It gives you nouns and verbs, and the community defines the grammar through lived use. This is why the #OMN works with ActivityPub, a metadata and meaning layer, not a platform, flows, not silos.

Manifesto for the Hashtag Commons
Outreach for the #OMN path, for the past year, the hashtag story has taken shape, not as branding, not as marketing, but as a shared language for navigating the mess we’re in. Each tag is compost: lived experience, memory of struggle, lessons from broken movements, glimpses of collective futures. Together they form a map of where we have been and the ground we are trying to rebuild. This story is now done enough to act as a tool: a framework that connects the projects, the struggles, the […]https://hamishcampbell.com/manifesto-for-the-hashtag-commons/

At best, the old #mainstreaming is about equality in worshipping the #deathcult
The old #mainstreaming was only in a limited way about freedom, we now need to focus on what it was about, equality in obedience. Equality in our blinded worship of the #deathcult: growth, consumption, competition, endless mess on a dying planet. That’s why #fashernista liberal progressivism is always a dead end problem, it plays radical, says radical, but composts nothing. At best, it sells rebellion as a lifestyle. It’s equality inside the system, not about freedom from it. We’ve […] -
The Blockchain Socialist: Self-Destruction as Theory
The Blockchain Socialist podcast is the deluded self-destructive talking about the deluded self-destructive in tech. It’s a mirror of our time: intellectuals dissecting the ruins while still worshipping the same #deatcult gods that caused the collapse. I am listening to an example of this Urbit - a hardcoded, reactionary dream of order built on decentralization, doomed from the start. Not only because the code is bad, but because the culture is. Control disguised as liberation. Hierarchy […]https://hamishcampbell.com/the-blockchain-socialist-self-destruction-as-theory/

In the reboot of native #openweb media, one guiding principle must be clear: #mainstreaming stays second-rank media. That means:
If you can’t link to a working, open URL, you don’t link.
Any mainstream links are placed at the end of the article, not woven in as authority.
This path is #nothingnew, it’s how we held space before. You can see it in practice back in 2006 with Indymedia’s coverage of the Climate Camp: https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2006/climatecamp/

#KISS in the reboot of native #openweb media, it's important that we push the #mainstreaming into being second rank media.
If you can't link to a working URL you don't link. And any mainstreaming links are placed at the end of the article. This is #nothingnew path you can see it implemented in 2006 here https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/actions/2006/climatecamp/

OMN projects are tools for YOU to change and challenge the world we live (and die) in
The Open Media Network (#OMN) is an “anything in, anything out” network powered by a mediated trust system. Instead of one corporation or #NGO controlling the flow, the commernerty decides what happens to the data that moves through it. At its core, the #OMN is a data soup: tagged data objects flowing through channels. These flows are shaped by trust. You consume and share based on your trust relationships, not on algorithms designed to manipulate you. Key features are built-in, not […] -
What does mainstreaming do?
We always need fast flowing counter currents, as the #mainstreaming narrows the field of imagination and excludes non-conforming ideas that could offer real solutions to systemic crises. Mainstreaming smooths the rough edges of society. It normalizes hierarchy, filters dissent, and packages politics into manageable narratives. It's how radical demands are turned into reforms, then paperwork, then slogans, then forgotten. Absorbing opposition into bureaucracy (e.g., NGOs, dead end […]
